iPad 11 With A17 Pro Chip and Apple Intelligence Rumor Was Wrong
Apple today updated the entry-level iPad with an A16 chip. Unfortunately, however, the device continues to lack support for Apple Intelligence. ...

In January, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the new entry-level iPad would be equipped with an A17 Pro chip, enabling Apple Intelligence on the device:
This rumor proved to be wrong.
Would be too funny if tomorrow the new Air tags get released instead.
would be funny if it was announced later today but that probably wont happen
This seems written to downplay the accuracy failure of Gurman, instead blaming it on "that information".
It would make more sense to simply state that Gurman was wrong.
MacRumors should consider having a tracker – similar to the buyers guide – with a colour-coded indicator to show how 'reputable' a rumour monger has been in the past.
I would laugh hard if they'd announce an updated AirPlay specification or something like that.
I wonder how long until we have "AirTags" and "AirTags Pro"
and if it doesnt happen tomorrow for some unknown reason then what is he gonna say to cover his ass?
Matter of interpretation I guess. I read it as "that information Gurman gave us was wrong", not the information he based his prediction on.
AppleTrack used to do that, but they seem to have stopped around 2022-2023.

Presumably new AirTags on Thursday to complete the set
Something’s in the air indeed

that would be more exciting....🤔Would be too funny if tomorrow the new Air tags get released instead.
Hopefully not too "hot rodded" 🥵🔥 given what we've seen with M4 vs M4 Pro on the Mac Mini (which has active cooling the MBA does not)
Only if one's expectations are not realistic.
So far Apple is right on target.
What actually surprised me was that they announced the M3 iPad Air before the M4 MacBook Air.
"Rumours" - the key word to understand Gurman. Not notices carved in stone, official notes or announcements. Things can change internally, sources can be mislead or just lying. Rumours, just that.
I think it makes sense though. The M3-chip for the iPad Air would have been a (bigger) disappointment if it was announced after the MBA with M4.
They haven’t got much to show to be honest. They could have make an event updating all their computers at once and next to it the whole iPad lineup. Something serious hardware companies do once a year or when new chips/tech comes available.
Maybe they add air cooling to the Air.
Might as well, as long as it's that thick.
